Kelly <br />(303) 298-16o1 tel <br />(303) 298-1627 fax <br />kathleen@kellypc.com <br />As requested at the Committee's September 2nd meeting, I contacted multiple attorneys at four <br />law firms that specialize in representation of Colorado municipalities as City or Town Attorney <br />to inquire whether any have retainer -based billing arrangements for City Council or Town Board <br />meetings. Two attorneys at one firm responded that they each used to have such arrangements <br />for a single municipal client (one was the City of Wheat Ridge, the other unidentified), but had <br />ceased the billing practice a while ago. <br />Also as requested, the following is a break -down of the City Council regular meeting time for the <br />twelve month period from July 2019 through June 2020: <br />July: <br />4.6 hours <br />August: <br />3.1 hours <br />September: <br />4.9 hours <br />October: <br />5.5 hours <br />November: <br />6.6 hours <br />December: <br />2.8 hours <br />January: <br />3.0 hours <br />February: <br />6.0 hours <br />March: <br />5.5 hours <br />April: <br />5.4 hours <br />May: <br />5.2 hours <br />June: <br />9.1 hours <br />Total: <br />61.7 hours <br />Average 5.1 hours per month <br />Kelly PC <br />999 18th Street, Suite 1450, Denver, CO 80202 <br />
